I reject the notion that Heaven will have some sort of permanent "underclass".
I think it's like this.
God is the light; God is the source. When we get to Heaven, we will be at varying degrees of "closeness" to God. Getting closer to God is its own reward. Think of it as a warm campfire on a cool evening. The closer you get, the warmer and better one feels. Some of us start further out from God than others, but ALL of us can and will eventually be close to God.
My question to yer post would be: "Why
wait til we get to heaven?"
1 Corinthians 3:
9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry,
ye are God's building.
1 Peter 2:5
Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
John 14:2
In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
1 John 2:27
But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie,
and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
I believe what adds or detracts from what you call "varying degrees of closeness" (I call it levels of access and authority...same thing), is
as/IF one matures and grows away from milk, towards Spiritual meat?
There are
so many instances
when we
grieve the Holy Spirit gets and we aren't even aware what's been done.
Solution?
Just
apologize to the Holy Spirit!
NOT in Jesus' name, or any other name, cuz that would be praying
to the Holy Spirit, and that
is a
definite NO NO!
And, if that means going around all day constantly apologizing to the Holy Spirit for grieving it?
"The world" hates it, and will hate you for doing it too! Why?
Cuz it
shames them who do
this:
Isaiah 28:15
Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
Ezekiel 13:
6 They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying,
The Lord saith: and the Lord hath not sent them: and
they have made others to hope that they would confirm the word.
10 Because, even because
they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and there was no peace; and one built up a wall, and, lo, others daubed it with untempered morter:
13 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; I will even rend it with a stormy wind in my fury; and there shall be an overflowing shower in mine anger, and great hailstones in my fury to consume it.
14 So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered morter, and bring it down to the ground, so that the foundation thereof shall be discovered, and it shall fall, and ye shall be consumed in the midst thereof: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.

Luke 22:36
Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip:
and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
